1995 : Near launching of Russian nukes


Ah, the Norwegian Rocket Incident. That caused quite a few eyes to flare when it was reported on the news a few weeks later.
"Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow--it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it."
--Shakti Gawain
